I haven't really been keeping up on LEGO much lately, but was looking through the pics from C4 and saw this bad boy. Wow, it looks amazing. Like others have said, if I had the money/space for it, I would be all over it. I don't envision any scenario where I could talk my wife into a $500 "toy" though, no matter what it is. It would have to be the only thing I bought all year. There are times though where I think it would be cool to be a LEGO collector, there's a lot of neat stuff and some of it can be scaled to the minifigs themselves.

I'd completly forgotten about this. I just recently lucked into the last lego falcon they released and I'd have to sell that off to be able to get this. What do you think, would you keep the original trilogy edition #4504 or would you sell it off to get this? I'm curious because the 4504 has an interior and I think that makes it more fun. However, a large falcon like this would be pretty sweet.

I think when Matt and I saw this at SDCC, we both thought the same thing: where the heck would you display this grand monstrosity. Good luck if you had the Sail Barge and Star Destroyer too! Very nice pieces though.

I've got two options, I'm not sure which one (if any) will work yet. I'll know when I have it all together and see exactly how big it is. I definitely plan on leaving it out, I wouldn't have bothered opening it otherwise.
